Château des Sauvages

En un regard

Le château en bref

The Château des Sauvages, in the commune of Désaignes in Ardèche, is the ancestral seat of a family of that name, which owned it until the 17th century; the origins of the estate are documented from the 15th century, with notarial records dating from 1541. At the end of the 18th century, the property belonged to the Ranc des Sauvages, then passed at the beginning of the 19th century to the Ravel family. Théophile Boissy d'Anglas, a deputy for Ardèche, acquired it through his marriage to a descendant of this family. His son, Count Siméon Boissy d'Anglas, transformed the old residence around 1870 and gave it its present appearance. Charles du Besset became its owner on 30 March 1903. A private property, the Château des Sauvages is not open to visitors but can be seen from the outside.
